The Old English epic poem Beowulf, recorded in its original Saxon dialect for the first time.

Performed by Icelandic poet, playwright, professional storyteller and performer Svanur Thorkelsson, Audible’s production gives listeners the opportunity to experience how it might have felt to hear bards recite sections of the 3000-line poem from memory in Anglo Saxon dining halls. Audible’s Beowulf recaptures the heroic style and vast scale of what can be considered ‘England’s first native audiobook’.

Considered one of the most important pieces of English literature, Beowulf has gripped audiences for over 1,000 years. It has been hugely influential on English and world literature – in particular Lord of the Rings and Game of Thrones – and has continued to be explored and reinterpreted through adaptations across mediums including novels, film, TV, opera, graphic novels and more.

I’ve been looking for a recording in Old English. Some day…. I may even understand the words.

The performance was good enough that I wish I knew the language it was performed in. Otherwise, huh?!

Not English…

Thorkelsson gives us the phrasing and passion of the book in its original tongue. If you’ve any doubts, listen to Stanza six.

Wonderful poetic reading of the classic.
